Black Friday

[Dave7]

Fire 7 tablets with Alexa from Amazon: £29.99 each . Just bought 3 of them.

Haha... I know where you can get them for £9.99 each.
OK they have a slightly different name and delivery from China is 3 weeks but apart from that......

Maybe he wanted them rather than needed them. Maybe presents, either way does it matter.

Yes, because if it is promoting unfettered consumerism and lurchases that would otherwise not happen. Then that is a problem.

I got the 8HD for my wife for her birthday. I'd already decided to get it, for £80. Imagine my feelings when I went to buy it, only to find it was in the BF sale for 50!

I bought some Adidas trainers for £25 yesterday that were £39 before. I knew they were because i had my eye on them when i saw them at £39 a few weeks ago. I wasn't 'Black Friday' shopping,just shopping in general...honestly!

Where can I buy lots of them?? Sounds like a hound.

Bought some perfume for SWMBO's birthday next week. Saved £30. But that aside, I found nothing of interest.

 

[Slow But Determined]

I hate shopping any day of the year so I shudder to think what the retail parks would have been like today.

 

[slowmotion]

I splurged a whopping £3.61 (including postage) on a power relay. I think it's in China at the moment but it should pitch up in mid-December.

I was sent out with the kids to get them some winter boots. It didn't work out very well.

I have a maximum 'attention' span of about 30 mins when it comes to shopping. It turns out the boy turns into a blethering mess after about 7 mins! The girl (three years old) just runs away at every opportunity. I count it as a victory that i have discovered which size in shoes they take... and they'll be ordered online.

Wondered where all the neighbours were going off to this morning before 07:00 on a Saturday, when normally they don't bother to get out of their onesies all day, all week.

BBC News - How to check if Black Friday deals really are cheaper

Apparently better deals are available at other times of the year #shock #horror

Great isn't it.
News constantly telling us to go out and use the high street, then telling us don't shop as you can buy cheaper other times.

I don't go anywhere near shops if I think it's going to be rammed

Our Black Friday purchases:

A Now TV stick with 3 month entertainment pass and 1 day Sky Sport pass included for £14.99 from Argos.
We already have a Now TV box, but given that the entertainment passes are £7.99/month from them, it's cheaper to buy a new stick...

I was going to buy some Keen boots in their 20% off everything sale, but they removed them from the website! I expect they'll make a miraculous reappearance come Tuesday.

So it looks like Black friday is get rid of all your s***t stuff day.

Upgraded my wife's phone to Samsung s9 seriously cheaply thanks to a Vodafone text, 4 bottles of malt whisky at about 60% retail price... That'll do me for black Friday... Bring on get hammered Monday...
